Why is Ear Training and Developing Aural Skills Important?

For a musician, ear training and aural skills are absolutely fundamental to what we're about and the ability to hear what we are doing is essential. The more we can develop our Aural skills the more refined our abilities will become. Many people only worry about Aural Tests when it comes to music exams. That’s certainly one aspect that will be of interest to some. Yet the agenda is much bigger than that. Aural training is all about the ability to hear and define/ notate rhythms, melodies, harmony, structures, textures, dynamics, articulation, tempo and tempo changes, style and period, and so much more. Many musicians just play notes that can be memorised or read from a score but when a real musician plays from the soul, he or she is using finely tuned Aural skills to turn out the most expressive possible result.
